The affection that Dirty Honey’s resident guitar hero John Notto has for and is . With those two at his disposal, Notto has been helping carry the torch for riff-based hard rock this year. But what about his pedalboard? Well, as you can probably imagine given his amp of choice, aren't a priority… “I don't rely on overdrives, especially since I’m a Marshall Plexi user. Most of my is filled with effects that I hope the listener can distinctly hear and identify. I like transparent-sounding overdrives but tend to steer clear of . But my concept is ever-changing. It might be the ADHD – or I just haven’t found the golden tone yet! “I start with my , a TC Electronic PolyTune 2 Noir. From there, I go into a SoloDallas Schaffer Replica TSR. It’s kind of like an overdrive but more of a treble boost. That goes into my wah, the Dunlop GCB95 Cry Baby Standard. Next is the MXR Tap Tempo; I have a great relationship with MXR, and they sent that over to me while I was on tour because I needed something small to save 'board space. “After that, there’s my Fulltone Octafuzz, which leads us to the Electro-Harmonix Nano POG. That’s a polyphonic , and I love it. After that, I have a newer addition, an MXR Six Band EQ. These next three pedals are in a loop: my MXR Uni-Vibe, a chorus/vibrato pedal; the Dunlop EP103 Echoplex Delay; and my MXR Reverb. “While I love my MXR stuff and respect the new boutique pedal makers, I’d love to have all vintage stuff. That’s the stuff you stay with forever. There’s just something different about using an original version of a legendary pedal. I can’t afford it now, but that’s the goal.” “I think it’d be the SoloDallas TSR. It’s perfect for solos and my rhythm playing. It’s the perfect boost, and it doesn’t change the fundamental tone of my Marshalls. It makes them hotter, and they sizzle just a little bit more. Not only could I do an entire Dirty Honey show with that pedal, but I could easily do life with that pedal.”
